Brett's 1st Birthday Party

Brett just turned 1 on the 30th of January! I can't believe how fast kids grow up right before your eyes. It really felt like just yesterday she was just born! The Asbury family came together to celebrate the big day. Melissa did a wonderful job putting together all of the decorations for the party. I love the theme and the color combo. Brett had fun playing with all her friends that game to the party and loved eating her cake! I had a blast photographing the family and meeting new friends :)

Snow in Wisconsin

Just thought I'd share some snow! This is what we got last night up here in Wisconsin!

The Asbury's

I love going to St Louis and photographing my favorite little family - The Asbury's! These kids are growing like weeds, but I love being apart of it and able to capture that special moment. Little Ellis has got a personality all of her own and I love being able to just snap a pic of her being her. Brett is also getting so big and wants to be just like her sister. And of course Dylan always the good older brother :)

Ashley & Andy Engagement

WOW! What a beautiful fall weekend in Peoria! I was so thankful that God gave me great weather to shoot Andy & Ashley's engagement photos. These 2 were so cute and good sports about making out whenever I told them! I had so much fun with them and can't wait to shoot their wedding next April!

Grace & Ryan Wedding

I as always I have sooo much fun shooting weddings! Here we have Grace & Ryan which are completely and utterely in LOVE! You can just see it in there faces that they want to spend the rest of their lives together. This was the first time that I had an assistant come along - Tara who shot great shots and I am so thankfuly for her help and talent! The day was perferct for the 2 of them it was a sunny 70 in chicago and who wouldn't want to get married on this day. Both sides of there family were so happy to celebrate this event. Thank you Grace & Ryan for letting me be apart of your day!

Doug and I went to the state fair in milwaukee a couple of weeks ago and I was excited to take some fair pics! It was a beautiful day and I just love how the colors turned out in these pics! Oh and I am offically a "cheese head" I had my offical batch of cheese curds.

Brittany & Josh's Wedding

I got the pleasure to take photographs of these 2 as they got married at the Peoria court house last friday. I had never got to see a courthouse wedding before so I was excited to be involved! The ceremony is short and sweet with a whole 4 minutes to get married! Brittany and Josh were so cute together and were game to do whatever I asked and didn't mind going to all my little place to take the photos. I think these turned out great and I was excited to finally to get to shoot a wedding in the peoria area. I loved Brittany's dress so cute and simple.
